fixing the mbr

[devlish96]

I had problem with windows XP a few months ago,..actually almost a year ago. It wouldn't boot. What I did to fix the problem was to fix the MBR. and it booted up..

here's my main question,...I can't recall what I used to get this "fix mbr" option. so please help me recall..

do you use the xp start-up disk,...do you use the XP bootable installation cd, or just press F8 before windows boots up to get to the boot option menu and start from there??

if you can boot to a prompt type this:

C:\>fdisk /MBR

That should fix your MBR

Yea, I usually just hit F8 and choose, command prompt only.

Then you can use fix /mbr
